Sao Paulo - School Report Question and Answers
Are students generally challenged appropriately by the curriculum? Please describe any particular strengths or weaknesses in this area. Do you have any thoughts how the curriculum is applied and implemented at this school?
Our daughter was very challenged on a daily basis and came back to the U.S. performing above grade level. BCB focuses more on teaching and less on testing, which was refreshing and had great impact on her education in our opinion. - Jun 2018
Graded is academically rigorous. Science has been weak, but the administration is working to improve (new curriculum, additional STEM courses added, etc.) Performing and fine arts is strong relative to other schools, although resources here have been cut since we started. There had been two music teachers and two theater teachers - now we have one teacher in each area to serve the entire school (K-12, 1,200 students) - Jan 2018
